Wii used a tv channel + remote + motion control basis in order to appeal to everyone. Wii U used a clunky drawing tablet thats troubling switching from to tv or god forbid any other controller. Not only that but the gamepad screen always stays on even in TV mode.

When it launched I thought it was possible to take the Gamepad on the go, like ps3/vita remote play (had a friend who owned both a vita and ps3)
